Former Sector Ralph Thomas delivered an DISCUSS FRANCHISE TO HUME IN SECRET Interesting Developments Expected as Result of Babylon Board's Action. (Special to The Eagle.) Babylon, L. June IS' The administrative body of the Town of Babylon went into executive session yesterday for the purpose of discuss- Ins the proposition to grant a fran chise permitting Arthur Carter Hume to generate electric current in the Town of Babylon, to operate the trol ley cars and to sell the surplus current to the consumers. Why the executive meeting, no une seems to know. It is reported that during tho session the question arose as to tho legality of the board passing upon such an important matter of puhlic interest behind closed doors.

No representative of the Long Island Lighting Company, which has a franchise for furnishing light and power in the town, was permitted at the meeting. All former meetings have heen public and they have proved lively sessions. Counsel has been retained to advise the board, and to draft a franchise that would be agreeable to the hoard. Samuel P. Hildreth, who was retained, was instructed to send to Hume, as assignee of the Babylon Trolley a draft of a fran chise which part stated that a 2.i- year franchise would be granted, and specified that $3,500 cash security deposited with Supervisor Robbins, to ha returned to Hume In live years in the event that he kept his contract with tho town ollicials, or to be forfeited in tho event of his failure to do so.

Hume refused to give any guarantee and wrote a sarcastic letter in which he said that the hoard would be dealing with insane persons to insist upon such terms as it demanded. Another representative of ihe trolley company, Joseph ltohtn. went so far as to accuse Supervisor Rohbins of in fluencing tho other members ot the board. This tho Supervisor and each member of the board absolutely denied. Supervisor Robbins refused to preside at the meeting yesterdny, whloh demanded action on the fran chise, as he Insisted that the meeting was not legal, and Justice George Irmisch of Lindcnhurst took the chair in his stead.

It was later made known that the board passed a resolution instructing Counselor Hildreth to repeat the Town Board's offer, and Interesting happenings are expected. Tho regular meeting nf the Town Board was held this morning, but only matters relative to the town beaches were taken up.

LAWRENCE GRESSER LAUDED AT DINNER The testimonial dinner and given to Lawyer Lawrence T. dresser last night at Grace Memorial House, Grove st. and Flushing Jamaica, by members of the Victory Democratic Club, proved to lie one of the most brilliant functions held at Jamaica in some time. More than 00 men and women of differing political faiths took tho opportunity to demonstrate to Larry Grosser, as lie is popularly known, the love and esteem they have for him, and to indicate their approval of his ambition to land the Democrat! nomination for justice in the Fourth District Municipal Court. Larry was easily the most popular man in the district, judging from the reception that was accorded him.

John J. Halleran of Flushing, president of the club, was toaatmaster and the speakers, who were limited to three minutes each, were ex-Sheriff Thomas M. Quinn of Astoria, Mrs. Alfred J. Eno.

former chairman of the Woman Suffrage partv of Queens County, who Is vice president of the Victory Democratic Club, and Mr. Gresser himself. Mr. Quinn said Tie had known Larry from boyhood up and had always admired his manly qualities and sterling worth. Mrs.

Eno, who addressed the assemblage as "Friends of our next Court Justice." said she felt very much like a war horse put to pasture and declared'that Mr. Gresser was really the lirst individual she had ever cared to take the slump for. Mr. Gresser. wlien he arose to speak, was given an ovation lasting fully five minutes, lie said in part: "I believe this is one occasion on which I admit my pride and to be forgiven for the sin.

For when hundreds of men and women assemble on an occasion of this kind it is an evidence that the guest of honor has earned the cood will and approbation of his friends and neighbors. I am pleased beyond measure because t'here is anofher significance to be attached to this gathering. I refer to the political campaign. At the very inception of a political campaign, when one h9s announced himself a candi date for public office, to have his friends turn out in goodly numbers and signify their willingness to be counted as in favor of his candidacy augurs well for the ultimate success of Ins endeavors. Mr.

Gresser devoted most of his allotted time for speechmaking to plea for all those present to give lib- i erally to tlie memorial hospitals campaign in progress this week, and he also urged the men to interest themselves in the Floy Scout movement and volunteer their services, as scoutmasters. Dancing followed, Prof. Charles Gordon's orchestra, furnishing the. music. The dinner committee, comprised John J.

POLLAY SAYS WAGES WILL GO HIGHER fSpecial to The Eagle.) Payville, L. June 18 The annual meeting and outing or ine ni'nn inland Coal and Lumber Dealers' Asso ciation was held at the Tidewater Inn here Tuesday.

It was an all-day affair, beginning soon after 10 o'clock the morning and ending along to wards 5 in the evening. The principal address was made by F. J. Pollay of the Department of Labor. He cautioned the 150 busi ness men who attended the affair against anticipating any material drop in prices during the next live years.

He told them it was extremely doubtful that there would be a reduction in the cost on labor. On the contrary he expressed the belief mat wages would go even higher than they are. The vast demand for American raw and finished materials over seas would be mainly responsible for this condition, he opined. Mr. Pollay appealed to the business men and manufacturers to speed up production as the best solution of the problem.

It would be better, Tie said, to over produce than to let production lag in these times. Addresses were made, also, by Edward Schmidt, of Mineola, president of the association; K. F. Kellogg, secretary of tho Newsprint Service Bureau; James S. Davis and Douglas Malloch, president of the American Press Humorists of Chicago.

At tho annual meeting which preceded the dinner, Mr. Schmidt was re-elected president of the association. 11. II. I'inkham.

of Amityville, was elected vice president: W. It. Fettit, of Huntington, secretary, and George Baldwin, of Babylon, treasurer. It was decided to change the name of the association to the Long Island Coal and Building Materials Dealers' Association, because that name better describes the makeup of the organization's membership. Besides the meeting and the dinner, the.

men. who came from all sections of Nassau and Suffolk counties, enjoyed water sports on the Great South Bay just in front of tho Inn in the afternoon. ST. JOHN'S PARISH DINNER Huntington. L.
